The contract from hell that I worked on 20 years ago in Australia
This is about a contract that I worked on 20 years ago in Australia. What a nightmare.
Some background ...
1. The boss was a german guy who was a very stressed out team leader with a humour bypass , and we used to enjoy giving him mock nazi salutes (behind his back when he wasnt looking)
2. They brought a batch of overpaid Kiwi contractors over to do the work pissing off a lot of the Aussies.
3. Kiwi contractors immediately began screwing all the young Aussie female trainee programmers ( also pissing off a lot of the Aussies !!).
4. Half the Oz programmers were busy trying to get rich in network marketing instead of doing any work
5. The Eel was a Kiwi programmer reputed to be an anatomical freak and much in demand with the females
6. The guy known as "Greg" is one of my mates currently still working as a programmer in Brisbane
7. The "Coat that Walks" was a wierdo permie who never bathed or took his scruffy duffle coat coat off in the office
8. Greg Lindlay was a young hotshot team leader who thought that the way to deal with project slippage was to rant at the workers, like a football coach giving the team a half time spray.
9. Kim was a young naive 21 year old buxom blonde graduate down from the country.
10. The Gabba was a guy with hearing problems who struggled to keep up with what was going on and got all the tulipe work to do.
